    long beds look disproportional. short beds look better.

    Let's be real here

    Shortbed = buggy
    Longbed = truck

    If you wanted an offroad buggy , the DCSB is for you

    If you wanted a truck , DCLB FTMFW BITCHES

    How would you do this with a short bed!? [​IMG]

    The wheel base is only 12" longer, and hardly inhibits my off road capabilities. It does make sliders a bit more crucial though. Plus a short bed is worthless for surfboards (which I always have 2 of under my platform), snowboards, 2x4s, dead bodies, etc...
